Gore Or Less
"You know, back in 2000, a Republican friend of mine warned me that if I voted for Al Gore and he won, the stock market would tank, we'd lose millions of jobs, and our military would be totally overstretched. You know what? I did vote for Al Gore, he did win, and I'll be damned if all those things didn't come true."
--JAMES CARVILLE







How about this for a quote?
"But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day
it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? I mean, it's,
it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like
that? And watch him (the president) suffer."

Nice quote, Mysterio. Let's see if I have a good political quote... I like Dubya's "trifecta" joke (which I think is about as sick as jokes get).
"You know, I was campaigning in Chicago and somebody asked me, is there ever any time where the budget might have to go into deficit? I said only if we were at war or had a national emergency or were in recession. Little did I realize we'd get the trifecta."
"if we were at war..."
800 American casualities, tens of thousands of Iraqis dead. HYSTERICALLY funny!
"...or had a national emergency..."
The destruction of the WTC. 3000 Americans went to gory and senseless deaths! Ain't that just a knee-slapper???
"...or were in recession..." 3 million jobs gone. The ranks of the unemployed are bolstered. Stop it! I'm peeing my pants with laughter!
Can't you just see Dubya and Dick Cheney, sitting in a balcony box like Statler and Waldorf (the two old hecklers from the Muppet Show) just telling this joke and getting their "BLAAAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW!" over national tragedy.
By the way, no "somebody" in Chicago, or anywhere else, recalls Bush ever saying this. So, the "somebody" in Chicago to whom Bush said this is keeping quiet about it.
But there was a certain somebody who did say... "Barring an economic reversal, a national emergency, or a foreign crisis, we should balance the budget this year, next year, and every year."
Al Gore.

If you applied jumper cables to Barbara Bush's brain you couldn't get enough wattage to power a light bulb in an Easy Bake Oven. Beautiful mind, my ass.
